But aren't singing our team praises right now. The same exact thing that you criticizing them about, you doing right now. Nice, they win...well done. They beat the mighty US of A down in Couva. A game that basically means less than a friendly to us they won. Slow
With nothing to lose, they manage to beat a USA team that is considered one of the oldest and worst performing teams in a while. Only a handful of their players even play outside of the USA.
Pal, as much as I happy for the victory and taking it. TTFA still can't tell us who we playing for the next international break. That's where our football is. USMNT probably have their schedule mapped out for the next 18 months. I was in England for the game when we beat Iceland 2-0. I thought WC2006 was going to be a turning point. A time when teams would come to POS and not expect an easy ride etc. We all know how that turn out.
We need to stop looking for outside validation and just put in work. The plaudits will come with the results. Stop worrying about how they view us. The fact remains that we are ranked 99th in the world. The narrative will always be that the USA played poorly. There can be no other narrative. Not when you are ranked 99th.
Syria almost made it to the world cup. Iraq has a team in the u17 world cup. What really is our excuse again?
We have teams in the middle of war still making progress.
We need to look inward to solve our problems. A next one on the board think it have some conspiracy to "keep us down". Never mind the indiscipline players who ducking curfew to go boat cruise etc. Never mind the administrative cuck ups....A conspiracy.
